Our mission here at Lyrical Passion Poetry E-Zine is to strengthen the ties in this literary community while educating & entertaining poetry lovers and writers; worldwide. The quality of our poetry here can only be as great and impressionable as the content that you send to us. Lyrical Passion Poetry E-zine is designed to give novice and award winning writers the opportunity to share their craft. We provide a platform for writers of any background, at any point in their literary careers, to showcase their best writing. We are planting our seeds and letting their roots grow. We know that what we do today, impacts our tomorrow. We look forward to becoming the highest paying literary publication for Japanese short form poetry. It is high time that haiku writers receive rewards of high distinction. Haiku is poetry, haiku is literature. We hope to have a wealth of quality writing from new and award winning writers, which will strengthen our readership as a quality publication. We welcome edgy material, we admire uniqueness and seek future contributors whose writing will represent Lyrical Passion Poetry E-Zine in Best American Poetry, Best American Short Stories, The O. Henry Awards and The Pushcart Prize Anthologies.
